FPL Fixture Analysis

Marcos Alonso (£7.3m)

Chelsea's next six fixtures: bha/BOU/wat/WBA/mun/mci

We've long been saying that Marcos Alonso is a must-have signing for your team every week if you don't already have him.

Chelsea's elite level attackers Eden Hazard (£10.6m) and Alvaro Morata (£10.4m) have been hugely disappointing on this run of kind fixtures but one player that has been consistent in points returns is Alonso.

He spends more time in the opposition box than he does his own and for that reason has three goals and one assist in his last seven games.

With their attack so hard to rely on, the only thing we can hope for from Chelsea right now is clean sheets. They've secured five of those in their last six games and look set to keep at least two in their next four, maybe more.

That's the other advantage that Alonso has over his Chelsea colleagues in other positions. His classification as a defender means he gets to capitalise on the clean sheets as well as the goals.

So if you want to capitalise on Chelsea for more favourable fixtures, there really is only one option for you.

The argument for bringing Aguero in is actually remarkably simple. With Gabriel Jesus out for some time he's quite likely to start both of the next two games against Newcastle and West Brom.

And in the last five gameweeks he has averaged 3.6 shots on goal with seven of his total across those games on target.

Of the forwards in the game right now, only Callum Wilson (£5.8m) and Harry Kane (£13.0m) can beat him for accuracy.

Do remember that despite the rotation he has face he has still scored 13 goals and assisted five more. This man has still got it.

On top of his promising form, Aguero has a great scoring record against Newcastle; it's 11 goals and three assists in 10 Premier League games.

He may have blanked against the Magpies in GW20 but he still had five shots in that game, two of which hit the post and one forcing a wonderful save from Rob Elliot.

On any other day, with that kind of performance, Aguero would have bagged, so I'd expect him to do so this week with home advantage.

The only risk, of course, is that Pep Guardiola has said that Raheem Sterling could operate as a false-nine to give Aguero some rest over the next few weeks.

The Citizens do have a busy schedule with a League Cup semi-final on Wednesday, the FA Cup fourth round the following Saturday and then midweek Premier League action on transfer deadline day.
